North Slope Zone Geology
The North Slope area lies approximately 1 km northwest of the
Reserve-trend deposits which were historically mined at Brewery Creek.
It is parallel and structurally similar to those deposits but occupies
a different (lower) part of the stratigraphic section. Gold
mineralization at North Slope is hosted in altered quartz monzonite
sills and adjacent siltstones.

2011 Year End Brewery Creek Project UpdateThe Company completed 344 core and RC holes for 55,453 m at Brewery
Creek in 2011. Drilling to date has been concentrated on delineating the two 2011
discoveries at the Bohemian-Schooner and Sleeman Zones, with
significant additional drilling on the North Slope and Classic Zones.

A 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the entire property is
anticipated before the end of January. Current year drilling will
resume early in the first quarter and will concentrate on further
expansion of the Sleeman, Classic and Bohemian Schooner Zones as well
as exploration of a number of quality targets resulting from 2011
geochemical and geophysical surveys of the project area.

The Brewery Creek Project is a past producing heap leach gold mining
operation with a total of 278,484 oz Au produced from seven
near-surface oxide deposits along the property's Reserve Trend from
1996 through 2002, when the mine (operated by Viceroy Resource
Corporation) shut down due to low gold prices. The 187 km2 property is located 55 km due east of Dawson City, accessible by paved
and gravel roads from the junction of the North Klondike and Dempster
Highways. In May 2011 the Company staked an additional 204 quartz
claims east of the historic Brewery Creek property, increasing the
Project to a total of 997 quartz claims.

The Project is in receipt of all necessary permits, including the Class
3 Mining Land Use permit required to conduct additional exploration.
The Brewery Creek Project is authorized under a Type A Water License
with an expiry date of December 31, 2021, subject to the restrictions
and conditions contained in the Yukon Water Act and Regulations. The
Project also has a production license with an expiry date of December
31, 2021, and the ninety-three mining leases covering mine facilities,
pits, waste dumps and adjacent drill indicated deposits have expiry
dates beginning in 2016. In addition, a Socio-Economic Accord with
Tr'ondek Hwech'in First Nation with respect to the Brewery Creek
Project is in place.

Sampling Methodology, Quality Control and Assurance
Samples were fire assayed for gold by ALS Chemex and ACME Laboratories
in Vancouver. All assays are reported as drilled intervals and are not
to be interpreted as true widths. Refer to the Company's news release
dated October 27, 2011 for a complete discussion of sampling methods,
quality control and assurance.
